INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower
1.75 oz (dry) Gluten-Free Pasta (~50g)
2 tbsp Cashews (15g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and starting to crisp around the edges.
While the cauliflower roasts, cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, a pinch of salt, and a little water if needed. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted cauliflower, and roasted chickpeas.
Pour the cashew cheese sauce over the mixture and gently toss until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, crispy textures.
